Is it safe to have buttons sewn on a baby blanket?
I have a friend who was given a baby quilt with buttons at her shower and was wondering if that was really safe? I realize it would be her responsibility to check them....but never saw a blanket like that before.
I have to throw another opinion in here. It's true that isn't safe to give a small child a toy or blanket that has small pieces that could come off (buttons, eyes on a stuffed animal, etc.). However, not all baby quilts are intended to be used as bedding. It may have been intended as a purely decorative gift - something to be put on the wall, or draped over a chair in the nursery, and then given to the child when it got older. It may have been meant to become an heirloom, and you certainly wouldn't use an heirloom on a daily basis, to be covered with spit up and, well, you get the picture.
